Children are inspired to become healthier, happier and confident in groups of teachers who spend the TCS London Marathon on Sunday. All TCS team teachers use to help children improve their fitness and self -esteem.
Some schools on Saturday deliver children to Central London to Mini London Marathon TCS, where students can run, run, stroll or wheel in one mile or 2.6 km ending at the same finish on the mall, which will cross the marathon runners the next day.
As schools create confidence and community
Others organize a similar event at their school to encourage children to be active. Featherstone elementary school, in Southal, Western London, holds a weekly treadmill and deputy director Graham Kuxi said his marathon training urged children to run at other times. “I started working on the playground, doing a little training. The next thing I know I have 20-30 children,” he said at the PA news agency.
“It is a true honor to say that my decision to enter the marathon has had this effect.” He added: “Children are healthy, happier, they reach more. They sleep better, so parents will be happy. It’s a real community.” The children competed to decide who would run in Central London on Saturday, with icons and certificates for anyone who tried.
“We have seen a great positive outflow from one person who enters the marathon, up to 25 other little people involved in parents, other children are ready to be in stocks if anyone wants to join. Many great results,” Mr. Kuks said. “We have discovered some strange talent. There is one boy who visits the local treadmill, he will become a star in the future. If he’s not the next headlights, I don’t know he is so talented.”
The mini -London marathon was first held in 1985, and Sir Mo Farah, Ailish Maccolgan, David Weer and Kiel Hodgkinon – among those who took part. The 49 -year -old Mr. Chickeeper, who worked at school since 2007, added: “It would be great if their mini -marathon could become the same as Khili Hodgkin and Mo Far.” It will be a dream to see them in the future. But for now they really like it. ”
Teachers share personal stories of inspiration and perseverance
Mr. Kuks, who ran Sandbach High School students in Cheshira, started working again while blocking the Covid-19 and turned to the long distance when his colleague and girlfriend George Jones-Pagaduan was diagnosed with cancer. Her husband, Greg Paganuan, persuaded him from London to Brighton to charity, and ran a “channel to fight the mountains” when Mrs. Jones-Pagado died in 2017.
“I realized that this was a time when you could go very inward and you could have darker thoughts and darker times, and I certainly had such,” he said. “It’s through work, I found a very healthy socket.” Mr. Cook marathon will also be inspired by his late couple Anne, who died in 2020, and on Sunday he will wear images of both women in his T-shirt, which would be the 41st birthday of Mrs. Jones-Pagan.
“Both George and my NAS were very strong women and were very inspired. Sometimes when it could be very low and very difficult, they didn’t show it,” he said. “If I feel a little step or fidge, or it hurts, I don’t justify it. You have to keep going.” The striking moment of his marathon training was the joining of other TCS team at the session of questions and answered the London Olympic Park with a hollow Radcliffe, which, he said, was “one of my personal heroes”.
Taszela Khalid, 29 years old, teacher of the 2nd year at Nelson’s elementary school in Ladywood, Birmingham, said the meeting with others in the workshop reassured the nerves about launching the first marathon. Miss Khalid hopes to inspire children to believe that sports and exercise can be for everyone. “When I grew up, I even drove on the road, I rarely could see anyone -like me,” said Miss Khalid, who bears Hijab.
“If you also see sports, I haven’t seen people who look like me who take part in sports.” The school has a large proportion of students from Arabic, Black and South Asian origin, and she said, “For children in my class to see how I take part, it inspires them as” Miss Khalid does it so we can do it. “I just want to inspire others to run. Running is a sport for everyone, it’s inclusive.
As running violates barriers for students of all layers
Everyone can go, it doesn’t matter what religion what age you are gender can run. And when you run, you runner doesn’t matter if you are a fast pace when you’re slow. Everyone can run. “Most of London’s training in London fell during Ramadan when Muslims do not eat or drink between dawn and sunset.
“I needed to do quite a lot of my run to do it hard, knowing what I needed to wait a while before I can drink and I can eat,” she said. “That’s what complicated.” She added: “I told the kids and about it at school. If you have something in your head what you want to achieve, you just need to try everything yourself. You can do everything hard.”
Miss Khalid, which takes the eighth year of teaching at Nelson’s elementary school, started an extracurricular club where children study the basics, how to run and play games such as Cat and Mouse. “At the beginning, they could barely run for 30 seconds without panting. It is great to see their progress and how much more confident,” she said. She added: “My class likes to rush and loves to race with each other.
Everything is always competition. They are always so happy and so fun afterwards. “Dylan Wings, 33 years old, Teacher PE in Ricards Lodge in Wimbledon, in the southwest of London, hopes that school at school will participate in the reduction of the number of girls who come out of sports when they started working at the girls school.
“There were very limited things that we were allowed to do at the time, and it was obviously one of them,” Mr. Wing said. Initially, only three students, now about 45 years old with different trainings on different evenings and monthly Parkrun. “This is a huge, huge strengthening of trust. They look forward to launching every week,” he said. Some students will work in Central London on Saturday, and the parents cheered them, and Mr. Wing said, “Without a doubt, I probably can name 10 now, which will make a full marathon once.”
A teacher who grew up next to Toronto moved from Canada to the UK in 2015 and joined the school in 2016. He was diagnosed with a childhood ADHD and said: “This was the main way I managed my own ADHD through physical activity.” He added: “When I trained in the morning, it’s a big thing to get my head a little that is very good.” In December, Mr. Wing ruled Valencia’s marathon in Spain and said he knew that a crowd in London would help him on Sunday.
